Description of problem:

Puppet 4 and Enterprise agents read the stdout output of yum check-update and expect all plugins to output their data before yum lists the updatable packages.  enabled_repos_upload sends output to stdout after the list of updates is displayed.  This completely breaks the puppet agent on the clients.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
katello-hosts-tools included with Satellite 6.2.11 Tools


How reproducible:

consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install katello-host-tools
2. Run puppet agent -t

Actual results:

Puppet fails with many errors:
Debug: Executing: '/bin/yum check-update'
Error: Could not get latest version: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Expected results:

puppet runs correctly

Puppet 3 does not have an issue with the enabled_repos_upload plugin
